Karl Kuykendall - Faith & Perseverance

8/1/2023

Karl Kuykendall (and Karen Kuykendall) published their historical monolith, Faith & Perseverance: The History of the Catholic Church in Central Texas, in October 2022. Karl immediately gave the book wings. The book was highly anticipated in the Catholic community and was endorsed by the Diocese of Austin. Msgr. Louis Pavlicek of St. William Catholic Church in Round Rock, TX wrote the foreword for his work.

Karl and Karen's book was featured in the December 2022 issue of the Austin Diocese Periodical just after the Diocese of Austin's 75th anniversary as well as in the Temple Daily Telegram for Temple, TX. A radio ad was distributed for the local religious radio stations and can be heard below!

The Kuykendalls held a book signing at the Czech Heritage Museum shortly after its publication. The book was subsequently picked up by F.C. Ziegler Co. in Austin and can be found on their book shelves!
